M-Step Schedule

M-Step testing starts this week (Tuesday 5/9) and ends on 5/18.  We will have English Language Arts first (Tuesday and Wednesday). We will have Math Thursday. Also, will continue with math on the following week of 5/16-18.   All tests will be taken on the Chrome books. We practiced in class and you may continue practicing the  M-Step at home by going to the DPS website.

Please have your child have a good night sleep and to get a healthy snack (you may send an extra snack if you would like-some students will get hungrier than the usual during testing).  We will take as many breaks as needed to refresh and stretch.  Thanks for your help and encouragement to your child during testing time.  Good luck to all students!
